What Do I Need To Bring For a Roku Return at Walmart?

If you don’t have the above items with you, the store associates at Walmart will be unable to process the return.
Do You Need a Receipt For Roku Returns at Walmart?
In general, you don’t need to use a receipt for a return at Walmart, but it makes the process both quicker and easier. Nevertheless, Walmart will allow you to return your Roku without a receipt if you follow specific guidelines.
The guidelines for making a return without a receipt are as follows:
- Present the Customer Service Associate with a valid government ID card
- Credit/ Debit card used for purchase
- Email or phone number used to make a purchase
In some situations, the Walmart associate may look up your receipt with the information you provide. However, if you are unable to provide proof of purchase, you can only receive the following:

- A Walmart gift card for items over $10
Can I Return My Roku Through the Mail To Walmart?

Online items can be returned through USPS, UPS, and FedEx, and customers can receive a shipping label for printing online after initiating the refund process in their profile.
How Do I Return My Roku Online To Walmart?
Both in-store and mail returns can be started on the Walmart Website, and if you do not already have a Walmart account, the system will guide you through creating a profile.
In order to begin the return process, you must first log in to your account. If the purchase were made online, you would need to locate the order containing your Roku from the one-time purchases link.
Next, you will have the option to begin a claim by clicking on the “start a return” button, and the system will then guide you through the rest of the process.
To complete the return process, customers must utilize the following method:
- Select the Roku
- Choose a reason for the return and then click next

Can I Return an Open Roku To Walmart?
Walmart allows opened Rokus to be exchanged as long as they are in good condition. However, opened Rokus that have been noticeably used and show signs of wear will not be accepted for return.
Can I Return a Roku That Was a Gift at Walmart?
If you received a Roku as a gift, there are special circumstances to meet before you can get a full refund, and it’s easier when you have proof of purchase.
For proof of purchase, you may present a gift receipt, find the item on your online gift registry, or if the item was shipped to you, you should have a shipping confirmation.
However, without proof of purchase, items can be exchanged or refunded to a Walmart Gift Card.
What If I Need To Make a Return For My Roku After 30 Days?
If you exceed the 30-day deadline, Walmart will not accept your refund. However, you may still have other available options.
Begin by checking to see if your Roku device is under warranty, as devices that have a warranty can be returned to the manufacturer, and they will usually send a replacement rather than try to fix it.
At Walmart, you can purchase a Protection Plan from Allstate that protects your Roku from damage that occurs from wear and tear, power surges, electrical failures, and loss of power.
Additionally, Roku offers a warranty of one year for issues that result from system defects and quality. This does not require a separate purchase.
